The Gardens of St. Francis

The Gardens of St. Francis, located on South Wynn Road in Oregon, Ohio, is a skilled nursing community rooted in the healing mission of CommonSpirit Health — one of the largest nonprofit, Catholic health systems in the United States. With a legacy of service that spans communities across the country, CommonSpirit brings deep clinical resources, rigorous quality standards, and an authentic commitment to treating every person as a whole human being: body, mind, and spirit. The name itself sets a tone. Inspired by the Franciscan tradition of compassion and service to the vulnerable, The Gardens of St. Francis approaches care as a vocation. Staff here understand that they are often with residents during some of the most challenging chapters of their lives, and that understanding shapes every interaction — from morning rounds to evening meals. Situated in Oregon, Ohio, the community is well-positioned relative to the region's healthcare infrastructure. ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, just minutes away on Bay Park Drive, provides acute care backup for residents with emergent or escalating medical needs. CommonSpirit's broader network also means that care coordination with specialists and systems across Toledo and beyond is supported at an institutional level — not just case by case. Oregon's South Wynn Road corridor offers a calmer residential feel while remaining close to Navarre Avenue's shops, restaurants, and services. Maumee Bay State Park, one of northwest Ohio's premier outdoor destinations along the Lake Erie shore, is accessible nearby — offering families a beautiful natural setting for visits that extend beyond the community walls. St. Clair Street and nearby areas in east Toledo also provide additional dining and service options for visiting families. At The Gardens of St. Francis, skilled nursing services include post-acute rehabilitation, complex medical management, palliative and end-of-life care, and long-term residential nursing — all delivered with the spiritual attentiveness and human dignity that define the CommonSpirit mission.
